i got waitlisted at michigan.

i meant to blog a bunch of stuff but i never got around to it because i never went to work on friday.

my mom came into the city on friday (she's on april vacation) and took home a bunch of stuff for me.

ed met us at the restaurant to go home with mom, and again, in 20 minutes, reminded me why i can not go home for the summer.

i've been really sick. throat and such. hacking hacking cough. phlegm all over the place. now my throat is recovering but i have a massive cold and i can't breathe through my nose.

i played beer pong on friday night anyways. love that beer pong. i get much better as i drink.

i went to mike liu's today, and had a fantastic barbeque dinner. i do feel really bad about trying one bite of that cold cheeseburger and not being able to eat anymore. i honestly almost retched it up, i really did try to eat it. i'm sorry, but i really don't feel well. this morning, i was real hungover, and the train ride there felt hellish, but playing mini made me feel much better.

i never finished up blogging about spring break. oh well. i should've done it by good moments instead of minute by minute. now i don't feel like going back and filling in what i left out.

i never blogged about eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. god, that movie was incredible. i've never had a relationship like that, and the funny thing is the movie makes me unsure whether or not i would want one. but the movie made me want to go back and start over with anyone i've ever fucked things up with. not that i'm going to. i watched it a second time not long after seeing it for the first, and i still loved it. catherine and i were in the front row though, and my eyes really hurt afterwards. catherine said she liked it but it wasn't that great to her. i want to make her see it again from a good seat, and not after another movie, so she can really appreciate it. i still want to see it again. i remember amanda posted about very few (two?) movies ever making her cry, and during the movie i saw catherine wiping at her eyes, but i think that's just because she was tearing up from sitting so close. if i was the type to cry at the movies, this one would warrant shedding a few tears.

plan to bum around the city and such for as long as i can is not exactly progressing. i'm optimistic about corey's place. i don't know which freshmen would let me bum in their dorm housing... housing a moocher in one's single can get trying very fast. and i think john baldwin really will let me stay at his place. and for out of the state, i still have austin don and austin. and wherever mike lives in seattle. oh, and casey in wisconsin at his brother's pad. hey, that's really not bad.

tomorrow i'm going to brooklyn. what's there? grimaldi's, the new york aquarium, prospect park, and the brooklyn bridge (sort of), or so i've been told. which direction is brooklyn, even? i'm going to guess south. so i'm thinking we'll go to grimaldi's for lunch, walk around the aquarium for 2, maybe 3 (i forget how long it takes for me to get sick of walking) hours, and walk across the bridge back to manhattan. i have no idea where any of these places "are," mind you. it'll work out, i hope. catherine said she'd go with me, which is all i really need. i really love hanging out with her. other people have expressed interest as well, but for the sake of catherine's design project, we'll try not to dawdle. i don't think i got an actual YES from anyone else, though.
